Question

Has anyone else noticed extreme fatigue at the same time each night? I know this sounds weird, but here goes: I started IP in December 2019. I only eat the sheet, take all vitamins and use the IP water enhancers religiously. I have had good success and have lost about 25 pounds. For the past couple weeks, I hit a point in the evening where I CANNOT keep my eyes open. Usually happens around 8pm each evening. I don’t feel tired during the day, but I hit a point each night where I will fall asleep instantly. I have no trouble sleeping all night and feel rested when I wake up. Is my body adjusting or re-setting the circadian rhythm? I just think it is strange. Thanks!  

Answer 1

I definitely feel more tired on this program. I didn’t get the energy boost. The only thing that helps me is getting up and walking in the morning. It’s so weird. I’m also eating the sheet and taking my vitamins and have lost 21lbs in 5 weeks so ‍♀️

Answer 2

I do, but I figured it was me just recovering from surgery (12 weeks post op). But now I’m wondering. hmmmm.  

Answer 3

Yes, I feel the same way in the evenings. When I have to stay up late I drink the BCAAs and green tea. I also take some B-12.  

Answer 4

Yes, I got tired earlier but slept better than I had for years.  

Answer 5

I get tired very early. I sleep better at night, but I’m up 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom. I’ve been on the plan since the end of October with a little vacation break to the alternate plan for the last 3 weeks.  

Answer 6

I crash super hard every night at 8 pm lol

Answer 7

Same happens to me. I fall asleep at 8pm sitting on the couch and wake up at 1am. Then I’m awake for the rest of the night and sleep during the day, not ideal but I’m trying to deal with it.  

Answer 8

Your body is going thru some amazing changes. organs cleaning out and working again, its amazing we dont sleep all day. This amazing thing called energy and libido and new clothes are right around the corner.  

Answer 9

Did anyone's hair fall out by the handful and you still had plenty.  

Answer 10

It took me several weeks to get used to the food changes but once the weight loss started I gained lots of energy and was able to be more physical.
